My dad was here this past weekend, he flew in on Saturday afternoon and left Sunday evening. Very brief but we had a blast! My dad is the best person to travel with, no really he is ask my mom. I have been here over two months and he was here briefly thirty years ago and I still felt like he knew way more than I do. He took me Sarah and Nolan out twice for very nice lunches. We got to try new dishes and the second lunch we ate at the restaurant in my favorite Strasbourg building. We stayed at the Sofitel in town which was nice and had a gorgeous bathroom with a huge bathtub which I loved because my place only has a shower...which is in the kitchen, not ideal.
Saturday evening we had dinner with S and E and two couples. One couple consisted of a Scottish man and a German wife, the other was a French couple. The dinner conversation switched from German to French but for me, mostly English...I am still learning. Dinner was delicious and my dad has a good time talking with people.
Sunday morning we went to church then we went downtown for the Carnaval parade on Sunday afternoon after our lunch. We threw confetti and watched as the evil said goodbye before Easter, some of the costumes were really ugly. Then dad took a train to the airport and left for India.
It was really great to see him and he teased me about my horrid French which I have been diligently studying in the days since he left :)
